A tough case that leaves all three friends sleep deprived and irrate. When an argument breaks out over an unimportant thing. It leaves Drea about to have a breakdown and she leaves to a place only she knew about. What she wasn't expecting was a grey mix breed to be waiting for her there. That oddly reminds her of someone

Michaela you are being unreasonable you do not get to boss me around when you left us and Drea and I had to fend for ourselves." Michaela says as Drea covers her ears at the yelling. She hated heated arguments

"Guys, can you please just stop?" Drea questions quietly, her tired voice barely making an impact in this fight. The truth was they had a rough case and it had exhausted all of them and Michaela had said som wrong which lead to this argument that had them all upset Drea just wanted that to stop

"Drea just stay out of this! Your no help" Both yell out causing Drea to back away like a kicked puppy and just listen as the fight continues.

.....

"Well maybe we shouldn't be a team at all!" The room quieted as the quietest in the room since the fight erupted and Drea walked out quickly, quietly closing the door. Her faithful dog followed behind. It had just been one of those weeks and Drea hated it. Her friends were against each other and at each other's throats and when she tried to help they snapped.

Drea had siblings and she got into gun fights more than often. She should be used to it, but she always had superb hearing and yelling hurt her ears, and fights like this reminded her of her mother and father before their breakup. It made her a bit nervous and scared.

Nala just whimpers unhappily seeing Drea, who looked very nervous and was covering her ears. Nala quickly went to grab Drea's headphones and place them in Drea's lap. Who just gives a small smile. "Good girl Nala." Drea says as she gets up. Hey Nal, what do you say about a jog?" Drea asks as Nala just nods and then heads out the front door.

..............

Drea eventually found herself in her safe haven near the edge of the forest where the leaves had already fallen. Drea takes in the fresh air before going into a tight cave nearby. It was a squeeze but Drea knew it was safe and it was quiet. That's when a puppy came out of nowhere and walked in front of the cave.

"Aw hi there cutie." Drea says quietly before realizing something. "Oh my gosh I'm sorry you must occupy this cave." Drea rambles, getting out of the way. The puppy just looked at her with compassion though and whimpered nuzzling up on Drea's leg. Both Nala and Drea look in surprise. This was a street pup, why was it so loving.

"I better get going pup." Drea says, but the mix colored puppy follows her. "Why are you following me." The puppy just whimpers looking up at Drea all kinds of emotions in it's eye. The main one was concern. It yips knowing Drea was stressed.

"Alright fine pup, I'm Drea that's Nala. I don't know who you are, but my friends got in a fight and got loud." Drea says jogging back to her shared house.

The puppy just watches with curious eyes before nudging Drea's leg gently. Drea just looks at the puppy in confusion.

"You know pup you remind me of someone I use to know. What is your name pup." Drea asks as some people may think it was weird, but this mixed breed reminded her of how Grace was before she died: kind, compassionate, and very sweet.

"I don't have one. I just wan be adopted please?" The puppy asks as Nala smiles and wags her tail. Looking at Drea.

Nala just shook her head before barking a few times. "She needs a home. Can we take her in please, please, please!" Nala asks hopefully as Drea sighs. Nala wanted a new friend that wasn't as crazy as Pumpkin, had her nose stuck in a book like Brook or was stuck to Georgie's side like Mira.

"Come on... Gracie... looks like you found yourself a new home. Georgie may kill me, but oh well. Drea says as she picks up the puppy, going back inside. Michaela has thankfully left and Georgie must be in her room cooling down. Drea goes to her room as well, setting Gracie on the bed. She then grabs Blossom's puppy collar. She would have to make a new tag for Gracie,
but she didn't feel like going back out.

"Welcome home Fenikkusu, now just to tell Georgie we have six pups instead of five." Drea says with a slight groan as the puppy nuzzles up to her new owner before tugging on Drea.

"You better do it now while you still have the guts to." The pup says as Drea rolls her eyes, but Gracie was sort of right.

"In a little bit. I don't feel like getting yelled at. But I also want to keep you. Come on pup you must be starved." Drea says leading the dog to the kitchen to feed her some of the dog food which they bought in bulk at this point and fills up Nala's bowl with the kibble and the puppy instantly eats it.

That's when Georgie came in, "Another puppy?" Georgie asks playfully with a smile Drea just gives a nervous grin, and nods.

"What can I say your rubbing off on me. Georgie meet Gracie." Drea says as Georgie smiles. Bending down to pet the puppy's sleek fur.

"Gracie huh?" Georgie asks, looking at Drea who nods. Picking up Gracie in her arms gently, Nala just wags her tail happily. "Well Nala seems to like her." Georgie says with a smile as Drea nods

"Yeah she begged me to take her aas aain. I think Nala's ready to be a big sister just like Pumpkin was when you got Mira, but if you don't want her in your house I understand. " Drea rambles as Georgie shook her head.

"Drea it is our house, and of course I don't mind you and Gracie are made for each other. Also I'm sorry about being so loud I know you have sensitive ears and I wasn't thinking. " Georgie says as Drea sighs.

"Its fine, we all had a rough case and were exhausted. It's bound to happen from time to time especially with Mick being pregnant." Drea says petting Gracie. "Hey G do you want to watch that new dog movie. It just came out on Disney." Drea asks as Georgie nods.

"Yeah sure I've been meaning to watch it and we don't have another case so let's do it." Georgie says as Drwa nods.

"Come on little Phoenix let's go you too little grizzly bear." Drea says as the puppies follow to the couch this argument by far had the best affect
